Signum walked out into the hall the very image of quiet confidence, an open Landel's-provided coat over decidedly ungirlish shoulders and long ponytail giving her a presence completely unlike those who skulked and hid in the darkness. Her other possessions stowed in the coat's pockets, she carried only her flashlight, held in the firm but tensionless grip of one with vast amounts of experience falling under the loose category of 'swinging for effect.'

It was an image that lied twice. Here she was less confident than she had been in a long time; only experience allowed her to act calmly. An aura of invincibility and actual invincibility are two entirely different things, and she was aware that with Laevateinn gone, a poor choice of weapons, and weak magic she might find herself challenged by opponents that once would have been incapable of harming her. But neither was she a fool. A creature of considerable pride but even greater battle experience, she would walk openly where she sensed no danger... but that didn't mean she wouldn't hide or back down from an enemy she did not think herself capable of defeating.

She had a Knight's soul, always, but with blade and master absent she was willing to accept the new limits that came with change, just as she had ten years ago in joining the Administration Bureau.
